Guided Morning Hike with Pastries in Denver

What's better than a morning hike with pastries? The Mount Falcon Park West Trailhead is the perfect place for an outing with friends, and family, or on a solo vacation. You'll get views of the mountains and Red Rocks, walk up to historic sights that include the ruins of John Brisben Walker's castle, and see the cornerstone of a would-be summer White House for U.S. Presidents. Rocky Mountain Hiking Company is owned and led by Carly Moree, the first woman to attempt the men's 3-day unsupported record on the 223-mile John Muir Trail/Nüümü Poyo. She is the co-author of the popular thru-hiking book Pacific Crest Trials and has hiked and run thousands of miles on trails, including running across the Grand Canyon and back in one day, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (1.5 times) and hiking the Appalachian Trail and the Tahoe Rim Trail.

Q&A

Q: What do you wear for the hike? Is there a specific dress code or should I just dress for the weather?

A: I'd recommend wearing comfortable hiking shoes and moisture-wicking clothes. Layers are a good idea since morning temps can be chilly, but it'll warm up. Don't forget a hat and sunglasses, especially with the altitude! Also, be sure to bring a light jacket just in case it gets breezy.

Q: How strenuous is this hike? I’m not in the best shape, would I be okay?

A: The hike is pretty moderate, so it's awesome for most fitness levels. Carly does a great job of adjusting the pace based on the group. If you take breaks and enjoy the pastries, you’ll do just fine! Just listen to your body and don’t push yourself too hard.

Q: Is this hike good for kids? I want to take my family!

A: Yes, it’s a family-friendly hike! Kids will enjoy the historic sights and the pastries. Just keep in mind, younger kids might need a little encouragement on some of the inclines. Carly is great with families and keeps it fun for everyone!
